The E-594 neutrino detector has been used to study the lateral distribution of hadrons and muons near shower cores. The detector consists of a 340-ton fine-grain calorimeter with 400,000 cells of flash chamber and dimensions 3.7 x 20 x 3.7 m (height). The average density of absorber in the calorimeter is 1.4 g/sq cm and the average Z is 21. A 5-day run was taken on cosmic-ray data using a trigger provided by four 0.6-sq m plastic scintillation counters located above the calorimeter. A shower density of eight particles/sq m was required to trigger. These data were studied to determine the number of muons traversing the device as a function of electron density. Preliminary results of this study are compared to Monte Carlo simulations of air showers from hadrons of 1-10 PeV.
