✦ Synopsis

The Ne spectrum of extensive air showers at Tien-Shan (experiment HADRON) is analyzed. It is shown, that around 10 17 eV a bump is observed in the spectrum. A sharp break in the spectrum at 3 PeV and the bump at 100 PeV are interpreted as an additional CR component, caused by the radiation from one or two close CR sources. It is noticed, that the mass composition of the basic CR component and the additional one can differ.
