Remember, they're processing spent fuel to extract plutonium. "Material unaccounted for" could simply be the difference between what they expected to recover from the fuel rods and what they actually did recover. Possibly the stuff being sent to then simply contains less plutonium than expected?
I don't find it beyond the realms of possibility that they can prove they haven't had anything taken from the plant, yet not be sure why they have less plutonium than they should. The last paragraph of the report would seem to indicate this is the issue here.
