Arlit

**I-Arlit** yidolophu yemizi-mveliso kunye nekomkhulu leSebe le-Arlit loMmandla we-Agadez osemantla kumbindi weNiger, owakhiwe phakathi kweNtlango yeSahara kunye nomda osempuma weentaba ze-Aïr. Ngama-200&nbsp;iikhilomitha emazantsi ngendlela ukusuka kumda weAlgeria. Ukusukela ngo-2012, i-commune ibinabantu bebonke be-79,725.

## Ishishini leUranium
Yasekwa ngo-1969 emva kokufunyanwa kwe-uranium, ikhule malunga neshishini lemigodi, eliphuhliswe ngurhulumente waseFransi. Imigodi emibini emikhulu ye - uranium, eArlit kunye neAkouta ekufutshane, ixhatshazwa yimigodi evulekileyo ephezulu yemigodi. Omnye umgodi ovulekileyo wakhiwa ngo-1971 yiNkampani yeMigodi yeSizwe yaseNiger, i-SOMAIR. Umgodi wesibini ovulekileyo womgodi, kunye nomgodi wesithathu ongaphantsi komhlaba, wakhiwa yiFrench Compagnie Minière d'Akouta (okanye iCOMINAK). Yonke i-ore evela kuzo zombini ngoku iqhutywe kwaye ihanjiswe yinkampani yaseFransi i-Orano Cycle, ukubamba iqela le-Orano, yona ngokwayo intsebenzo karhulumente ye-French *Commissariat à l'énergie atomique* (CEA). Inkqubo yokuvelisa amandla enyukliya yaseFransi, kunye nenkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya yaseFransi, ixhomekeke kwi-uranium yombiwa e-Arlit. I-Orano Cycle yodwa iqeshe i-1600 yabemi bangaphandle kwisiza.

Kwi-2017, iitoni ze-2,116 ze-uranium zakhutshwa kwimigodi ye-Arlit kwaye yathunyelwa eFransi ngelori kwizibuko laseCotonou, eBénin. Kwincopho yayo kwiminyaka yoo-1980, i-40% yemveliso ye-uranium yaseNiger yavela kwi-Arlit, kwaye i-uranium imele i-90% ye-export yaseNiger (ngexabiso). Indlela enkulu yanamhlanje, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-*Uranium Highway*, yakhiwe ukuthutha i-uranium emazantsi, kodwa iye yadlula iidolophu ezininzi endleleni (i-In-Gall ngokomzekelo) kwaye itshintshe kakhulu inkqubo yezothutho yaseNiger.

### I-Boom, i-bust kunye nokubuyisela
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980, U-Arlit uhlaselwe kukuhla kwamaxabiso e-uranium ehlabathi, kwaye inani labasebenzi abavela kwamanye amazwe edolophini lehla laya kutsho kuma-700, ithontsi eliye laphindaphindeka kwishumi leminyaka yokuqala yenkulungwane yama-21. Ixabiso le-uranium "boom" yaseNiger ayizange iphinde ifumane umgangatho wayo we-1980s, ibangela ukugxothwa kunye nokubandezeleka kumashumi amawaka abantu baseNiger ababethontelana ukuya kwiidolophu ezinamatyotyombe ezingqonge iArlit.

Umsindo ngenxa yeziphumo zokudubula kweuranium, kunye nenkolelo yokuba eyona misebenzi ilungileyo iya kwabo basuka kumazantsi eNiger, yaba negalelo kwimvukelo yeTuareg ye-1990s. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2007, abantu belizwe laseTuareg benze ulwahlulo olufanelekileyo lwengeniso kunye nemisebenzi kubantu basekhaya eyona mfuno iphambili.

Kwinqanaba le-macroeconomic, i-Arlit inokuthi ihlupheke kwisifo saseDatshi, okanye isiqalekiso saseDatshi, isenzeko apho kugxininiswa ngokugqithisileyo kwicandelo elinye (elidla ngokuba sisixhobo esifunwa kakhulu njenge-oyile) lithintela uphuhliso oluqhelekileyo lwamanye amacandelo abalulekileyo kuqoqosho.

### Impembelelo yokusingqongileyo
Impembelelo kwimeko yendawo yeshishini lemigodi yase-Arlit iye yagxekwa yi-Afrika kunye ne-European Non-Governmental Organisations, kwaye i-Areva NC iye yatyholwa ngokukodwa ngokungakhathaleli impilo kunye neemeko zokusingqongileyo malunga nokusebenza kwayo. IKomishoni ye-NGO yaseFransi yoPhando oluZimeleyo kunye noLwazi ngeRadioactivity ichaze iimfumba zenkunkuma yenyukliya engaphezulu kufutshane ne-Arlit njengengozi kunikezelo lwamanzi lwale ndawo.

### "Yellowcake" ingxabano
Kulwakhiwo lwemfazwe e-Iraq bekukho impikiswano ngezityholo ngezityholo ngo-2003 zokuba uSaddam Hussein ibifuna ukuthenga iuranium kwiArlit.

## Abafuduki kunye nabaphambukeli

I-Arlit iphuhlise isiseko sehlabathi sokuqala kunye nesikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuze sikhonze abasebenzi baseYurophu kunye neentsapho zabo, kwaye iye yaba yindawo yokuthutha abaphambukeli abangekho mthethweni abazama ukuya eAlgeria, kwaye ukusuka apho, eFransi.

## Isiseko somkhosi
I-United States isebenze isiseko somkhosi e-Arlit ukususela malunga no-2015.

## Ezothutho
IArlit ibonelelwa yiArlit Airport.

## Kwinkcubeko eyaziwayo
Kwi-2005 umenzi wefilimu waseBeninese, u-Idrissou Mora-Kpai, yavelisa kwaye yalathisa ifilimu *[https://idrimora.com/projects/arlit/ Arlit, deuxième Paris]* (Arlit, iParis yesiBini) malunga noluntu olukhulu lwangaphandle edolophini.

Ngo-2007 i-Andersen Press yapapasha 'Iyelenqe le-Yellowcake', inoveli yombhali wabantwana waseBritane uStephen Davies. Le noveli yintlola eyonwabisayo hlala kwaye ujikeleze umgodi we-Arlit.

## Ijoloji
Ngaphezulu kwe-25 idiphozithi ye-uranium ivela ngaphakathi kwe-Mississippian ukuya kwi-Cretaceous age sandstones. Iimpawu eziphambili zesakhiwo yi-Arlit Fault, kunye nokungena kunye ne-ring dikes ukusuka kwi-480 ukuya kwi-145 Ma ubudala.

## Imozulu
IArlit inemozulu eshushu eyomileyo (*BWh* phantsi kwenkqubo yeKöppen-Geiger.)
