(5) Subject to §336.305(b) of this title, the licensee shall not authorize a planned special exposure that would cause an individual to receive a dose from all planned special exposures and all doses in excess of the limits to exceed: (A) the numerical values of any of the dose limits in §336.305(a) of this title in any year; and (B) five times the annual dose limits in §336.305(a) of this title during the individual's lifetime.
