Why have got to this stage? Gross negligence and lack of emergency management, bureaucracy, and finger pointing.

They say 10,000 tons of radioactive water to be "disposed of" that is quite a bit, around 2,500,000 gallons. However 20,000 gallon above ground storage tanks are readily accessible, and larger I am sure. They should have helicoptered in 100 of these tanks for temporary storage. These tanks should have been sitting on site 3 weeks ago, for contingency--just in case they were needed. 5 helicopters delivering 3 tanks per day each, would require 7 days to deliver the needed tanks.
Why was this not done?
Why is there not a concrete batching plant being set up within a few miles?
What about the Cesium in that water, with a half life of 30 years? They only focus on Iodine, which is "safe" after 8 days (NOT - that is a big lie that has been floated several times on real 'news').
Again, check this source. They seem to be the last source of "bad news". Seems like the other media outlets were told to "tune it down".

By the way, this is the perfect back drop as an excuse for the US failed /failing monetary policy.
