The chemical is kept pressurized as part of the cooling system in meat processing plants.
After 8 hours the batteries ran down and the cooling system quit.
One more thing to add to your upgrade list: the cooling system.
If the cooling system were to lose power during the initial decay period of 24 to 48 hours, a meltdown would likely follow.

When its custodians noticed how unusually dusty the dinosaur area was getting, Aramark's technicians traced the problem to air flow from the cooling system and rejiggered it.
Even before the reported explosion, officials were becoming increasingly worried about No. 2 reactor, due to a problem in the cooling system that hasn't occurred in the others.
If the pumps are knocked out in a Generation II reactor as they were at Fukushima Daiichi by the tsunami the water in the cooling system can overheat and evaporate.
In early April, the cooling system at one of the pools containing spent - but highly radioactive - fuel rods in reactor number three broke down for about three hours.
The IAEA statement was released hours after Tepco temporarily shut down the cooling system in the second unit's spent fuel pool following the discovery of dead rodents near a transformer.
The cooling system relied on an 8-hour battery supply, which are reportedly being supplemented by other similar batteries being airlifted by military aircraft if operators are unable to get the diesel generators or grid power back up in time.

Thus, the failures spanned the electrical system, cooling system and control and instrumentation systems at the plants.
In addition to consuming less power, the drive operates four degrees Celsius cooler, requiring less cooling in the system rack and data center.

The system cooling water which contained spent - but still highly radioactive - nuclear fuel rods failed and it took engineers some 30 hours to repair the damage.
It's no surprise, then, that Alienware's newly-speced Area-51 7500 showed the videogame addicts over at IGN some of the best performance they've ever seen, and ran surprisingly quietly while doing so -- thanks in no small part to the liquid-cooling system.
The new Generation III reactors such as the AP1000 have a simplified "passive" cooling system where the water circulates by natural convection with no pumping required.
This has been achieved with the aid of a cooling system run on superfluid helium, more than 2, 000 litres of which were loaded into the telescope at launch.
Among the innovations: a cooling system that recycles heat from generators to power an absorption chiller which, in turn, sucks in fresh air through landscaped terraces.
