Narrative:
We were cleared for takeoff. The captain aligned the aircraft with the runway and advanced the throttles. Once stable he toga the throttles to set flex power. As the aircraft power was applied and the aircraft started moving; it immediately veered to the right. The captain was unable to correct with his rudder pedals and realized he had a nosewheel steering problem. He immediately rejected the takeoff. We notified ATC and accomplished any applicable checklists. He was able to regain steering through the steering lever and we taxied clear of the runway. We were able to return to our gate uneventfully.the problem was caused by a malfunction in the nose wheel steering system.
