The preparation of the CERN Ion Injector Chain for an LHC Oxygen Run is not straight forward because the Complex has been designed to deliver Lead beams with a very low radiological impact. With Oxygen beams, initial simulations indicate that we cross the safety borders in terms of personnel and equipment protection. Therefore, special measurements need to be put in place. However, there is...
