A method is given for finding the shifts in position of the solitons for the case of nonzero reflection coefficient. Expressions for boost generators in terms of scattering data play a prominent role in the analysis. Phase-shift formulas which show the effect of the radiation component on the soliton motion are deduced for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, the Korteweg —de Vries equation, and the sine-Gordon equation
