Nuclear emulsions with various compositions have been used to study the emission of short-range particles (R < 100 ..mu..m) in inelastic interactions of carbon with momentum 4.5 GeV/c per nucleon and the light (C, N, O) and heavy (Ag, Br) nuclei of the emulsion. It is established that there is no need to invoke the hypothesis of local nuclear heating to explain the emission of these particles from heavy nuclei. It is shown also that the criterion of a short prong in study of relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions leads to a substantial distortion of the characteristics of interactions in the light component of the emulsion.
