Arandis, Namibia is a town in Erongo Region, Namibia. It has been called the Uranium Capital of the World as it is located just 15 km outside the world’s largest open-pit uranium mine, the Rössing Uranium Mine.
Established for the workers of Rössing Uranium in 1978, Arandis was granted self–administration and “town” status in 1994.[2] Currently it has 7,600 inhabitants, most of whom are somehow connected to the mine, and owns 29 square kilometres (11 sq mi) of land.[3]
It is the home of the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology, a technical institute focusing on training skilled industrial workers.
