The treated water isn't the problem, it's all of the water that has yet to be treated. Currently they are accumulating more water in tanks then they are treating it, which is a difficult process. Interestingly some of the cutting edge treatment techniques are being pioneered at the Hanford Nuclear site in Washington State, USA. I went on a tour there and talked to one of the scientists working at the ground water cleanup facilities and he said they have sent a lot of scientists over to Japan to help with Fukushima. Though he mentioned off hand that Tepco has not been as cooperative as they would have hoped.
