History
After a series of power drains occured, Masters, an Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, went there to investigate. Later it turned out that the Silurians had caused the power drains. The Silurians operated nearby and had woken up from hibernation after their predicted end of the world event millions of years prior to the incident. The Silurians attempted to infect the people there with a virus that would end the human race, they were also responsible for mental breakdowns. They wanted to use the nuclear facility to end the human race, but their plans were thwarted. (DW: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
