The ICARUS Collaboration has operated successfully the Liquid Argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC), a novel and continuously sensitive bubble chamber like neutrino detector in the GranSasso Laboratory and an underground neutrino beam coming from the CERN-SPS. ICARUS may now be moved at the 8 GeV FNAL-Booster for a search of LSND-like neutrino-electron anomalies at a shallow depth and shorter distance from the target, where three experiments will simultaneously study neutrinos at three different locations. New and substantial modifications are described in order to make ICARUS operable in the presence of such a large cosmic ray muon background.
