Summary
The production of nuclear-active and electromagnetic particles, as well as long-lived isotopes in nuclear and electromagnetic showers generated by cosmic-ray muons at different depths underground is discussed. Characteristics of the secondary components and their dependence on the depth and the muon energy, obtained in experiments and calculations, are presented.
