A procedure exploiting time-dependent generalized perturbation theory applied to the nuclide field is proposed for cases of interest, namely for fuel burnup and buildup problems during the reactor life cycle and for sensitivity analyses of actinide production estimates. The numerical results so far obtained are indicative of the reliability of the proposed method.
