Fleming said some 3,000 barrels were stored there under the agency's watch.
Last week, American troops accompanied by Iraqi health workers ordered residents from the surrounding villages to sell back barrels for US$3 each. Pentagon officials said Thursday that more than 100 barrels had been retrieved.
Fleming said the IAEA would be permitted to examine its barrels. The rest of the mission, however, is restricted to the Tuwaitha site.
