The Japanese government has stored one million tons of the contaminated water, but space is running out.
Tokyo Electric Power estimates the total amount of tritium in the water will be 860 trillion becquerels by January.
The only other Level 7 event in history was the 1986 meltdown at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Ukraine.
