3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION

The need for information on the fate and transport of radionuclides placed in shallow-land dis- posal sites emphasizes the necessity for an orderly, objective means for storing and retrieving results of radiochemical analyses of samples collected on or near such locations. SORA was developed to aid in organizing such results and to ensure their availability for computer processing.
