The MYRRHA project, a flexible spectrum neutron irradiation facility, is designed according to the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) reactor concept. The MYRRHA driver consists of a high power superconducting proton LINAC. A prototype of the front end injector is being built up into a test platform conceived to experimentally address its design issues. Currently, the ECR proton source has been industrially procured. LPSC Grenoble designed the subsequent Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) section. Right before the RFQ, a short section hosts an electrostatic beam chopper producing carefully controlled beam interruptions. In this paper the status of the LEBT design with the associated beam instrumentation is reviewed. Future experimental plans including LEBT beam characterization and optimization of the beam transmission are presented.
