June 6 (Reuters) - Entergy Corp's 1,022-megawatt
Unit 2 at the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York
automatically shutdown on Wednesday morning.

"Workers are investigating the main electrical generator as
a probable cause of the shutdown," company spokesman Jerry Nappi
said. 

The electrical generator is located on the non-nuclear side
of the plant, he said. 

There was no release of radioactivity and equipment
performed normally during the shutdown, he said. 

Indian Point 3 was operating at full power.
