Russian term or phrase: единица работы разделения (ЕРР)
I am looking for the standard English equivalent for this unit of measurement of enrichment. For context, I have included the following excerpt from the article I am translating:

В мире общепринятой единицей, измеряющей эффективности обогащения, является единица работы разделения (ЕРР). ЕРР - это энергия, которую нужно затратить для превращения стандартного природного урана в килограмм стандартного энергетического (низкообогащенного) урана при стандартных условиях. Стоимость 1 ЕРР в мире колблется от 70 до 120 долларов.

I appreciate your assistance.
