New experimental data on the correlations of the yields of {sup 4}He and {sup 2}H nuclei in semi-inclusive reactions involving by the production of {sup 3}He and {sup 3}H mirror nuclei in {sup 16}Op collisions at a momentum of 3.25 GeV/c per nucleon are presented. The mean multiplicities of protons and neutrons appearing as fragments are found to be independent of the number of associated deuterons, this indicating that a considerable part of these fragments originate from the breakup of the alpha-particle clusters forming the oxygen nucleus.
