A method is proposed for finding the partial inelasticity coefficient K0 in individual events in hadron-nucleus collisions at superhigh energies. Its use ensures that the methodological errors are considerably smaller than in other methods. The value of K0 is found by measuring the fraction of the energy of the electron-nuclear cascade produced in dense matter by the primary hadron which is transferred to electron-photon showers and the energy going into nuclear disintegrations.
