The nuclear parton distributions are given in a model where the nucleus is viewed as a collection of uncorrelated nucleons. Using these distributions, we determine nuclear shadowing at small values of x. We find that the effect of nuclear shadowing goes away very slowly when Q2 increases. Our results are consistent with the experiment of Goodman et al. The amount of nuclear shadowing expected at higher energies is discussed.
