This paper presents a new perturbation theory developed in quantum mechanics, with a series of advantages over classical Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory. The new theory does not have a generally accepted name. Since the steady Schrodinger equation coincides with the equation of the single-group approximation in the theory of nuclear reactors, the results obtained in quantum mechanics may be transferred directly to an equation with a single group of neutrons. Examples are presented which show that the ''nonlinearization method'' may be used to solve reactor problems. Its extension to the multigroup approximation is hardly possible.
