TASC has 1.6 m.f.p. for protons which is enough to measure the energy of protons up to 1000 TeV. Using the observed spectra, the following items will be discussed: (1) the detailed structure of the spectrum, checking the change of the spectrum index and comparing indices of various components. More than 300 iron nuclei with the energy greater than 1 TeV/n will be observed. (2) secondary/primary ratio. Especially we can observe the both of B/C ratio and sub-Fe/Fe ratio. At the space station, the observation is free from the atmospheric contamination corrections. These observations are essential for the acceleration mechanisms and the propagation of cosmic rays.}, title = {CALET Observation of Nuclear Components in Primary Cosmic Rays}, volume = {OG}, year = {2005} }
