The AEC constructed scientific and weather stations on Semisopochnoi Island to monitor their nuclear tests on Amchitka Island. In 1973, all equipment and structures were removed from the island by Navy helicopter and the occupation site was cleaned up. Debris consists of eight Quonset huts, a wrecked aircraft, and miscellaneous debris.
