you are required to monitor packages that exceed the Type A quantity as 
defined/listed in 49 CFR or if there is evidence of degradation of 
package integrity (damaged, sopping wet, and so forth).  so it would 
seem the question is answered by determining if the incoming package is 
greater than the Type A value (or damaged).  
 
we receive very (VERY!) few shipments in excess of the Type A quantity. 
the regs simply require you to monitor and document the results. the type 
of instrument is dependent upon the isotope involved.
