The nuclear composition of primary cosmic radiation with energies between 10 to the 15th and 10 to the 17th eV is determined on the basis of experimental data concerning the relative fluctuations of electron and muon fluxes in extensive air showers. The analysis of the experimental data assumes that any model of hadron multiple production processes which is consistent with the averaged correspondence between the number of muons in an extensive shower and the number of electrons is acceptable. Approximations are obtained for the energy spectra of primary protons and other heavy nuclei at energies between 10 to the 12th and 10 to the 18th on the basis of the present work and on the basis of data concerning the total flux of primary particles from 10 to the 14th to 10 to the 18th eV. The relative contribution of protons and other nuclei to the composition of primary cosmic radiation is found to be constant in the 10 to the 12th to 10 to the 18th eV range.
