The emails, letters and other documents also show Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko being coached by the agency's lawyers to temper remarks he had been making saying the agency was unlikely to intervene in the Entergy lawsuit. The documents were obtained from the NRC by The Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request.
