This paper describes the development of a sensitivity and
uncertainty (S&U) analysis calculation system for reactor
physics calculations. Classical perturbation theory has
been implemented within the fuel assembly code CASMO-4 to
enable the computation of multiplication factor
sensitivity coefficients with respect to cross-sections.
In addition, a covariance library has been created and
connected to the code in order to allow uncertainty
analysis. The work has been carried out as a part of the
international UAM benchmark.
