A systematic analysis is made on the 106 γ-ray families with visible energy in the range of 100~300 TeV observed in the Chacaltaya emulsion chamber experiment. A new method called `decascading' is introduced to pick up a cluster of γ-rays and electrons in a family, so that the cluster is an air cascade from one parent γ-ray. The application of `decascading' method to the family data gives information on original γ-rays produced at the atmospheric nuclear interactions. The results are compared with expected ones from the simulation calculation on the base of H-quantum model, and with data from the target interactions at lower energy range (ΣE_γ=20 ~100TeV). The conclusion is that the characteristics of nuclear interactions at the concerned family energy range (E_0≃1,000TeV) are in accordance with those at the target interaction range (E_0≃100TeV), with increased ratio of frequencies of a heavy fire-ball (SH-quantum) to a small and usual fire-ball (H-quantum).
