The main problem here is time. Or at least it's the worst problem of a series of problems.

Even if they could get to the reactors the fail safe systems would still have to be in perfect working condition, which is highly unlikely. They'd also need someone to teach and train the teams heading to the reactors, which given the time and fact that they might only have one means of transportation, would again invalidate any attempt to reach and implant the fail safes.

So the solution can't depend on them stopping the meltdowns. I believe given the situation they're in, their only option is to find a way to survive the inevitable meltdowns. Or at least find a way that would be implemented afterwards to neutralize the radiation. Which of course if such a method or technology exists, it would basically end all the risks of radiation and make even the now barren lands once again habitable.

Honestly the options aren't many. If anything they're few and with high probability of failure.
