A lot of that report is about how the inspectors spent much of their time trying to verify Iraq's claims that all their chemical and biological weapons were destroyed already. There wasn't much they could verify on that issue.

Of course it would help if I gave the right article, durr...
Final count of 155mm artillery shells found and destroyed that contained mustard
1997, Iraq declares the destruction of 550 155mm mustard shells. UNSCOM is unable to verify it.
UNSCOM (Before UNMOVIC)'s Disarmament status as of 1999.
Consequentially, 500 of these shells have been found now, dating back to the first gulf war, in roughly the same quantity that Iraq said they destroyed in 1997. The search for evidence of destruction never stopped and was obviously never found. This isn't a smoking gun or anything to Saddam having secret stashes of nukes. It's simply finding these weapons that were thought to have been destroyed unilaterally but actually weren't. Ironically, in a time when Iraq was doing this shit all the time and almost always was found out to be doing so.
