Image copyright Reuters Image caption The storage tanks for contaminated water are filling up and space will run out in 2022Japan's environment minister says contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant may have to be released into the ocean because storage space will run out in 2022.
More than a million tonnes of water that has been used to cool melted reactors is kept in giant tanks.
Reactor buildings at the Fukushima power plant were damaged by hydrogen explosions caused by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Many scientists say the water would quickly be diluted in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, and that tritium poses a low risk to human and animal health.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says Japan has to make a decision about what is going to happen to the contaminated water urgently.
