We study how much gluon shadowing can be perturbatively generated thro
ugh the modified QCD evolution in heavy nuclei. We model in simultaneo
usly fusions from independent constituents and from the same constitue
nt, both in a proton and in a large loosely bound nucleus of A approxi
mately 200. In addition to the actual distributions at small x, we stu
dy the ratios of the distributions at an initial scale Q0 = 2 GeV, and
show that a strong nuclear shadowing can follow from the modified QCD
evolution.
