Abstract	The author criticizes the LOCA (loss-of-coolant accident) mind-set in the nuclear power industry, by which he means the continuing preoccupation with the general view of reactor safety dominated by the technical subculture created by a billion dollars of LOCA research and now extending itself into the microconsideration of severe accident phenomena. In opposition to this mind-set, he discusses: (1) what contribution to reactor safety is needed for human factors engineering; (2) why it appears that this contribution is not going to be made in the near future; and (3) what might be done to make it more likely that an effective contribution will be made.
