Most (not all) US nukes are pressurized-water types. They can have problems too. San Onofre in southern CA recently shut down permanently because fixing botched replacement steam generators would cost more than just decommissioning the place (which may take 40 years and 10ish billion$). Some PWR designs are also prone to meltdown: Three Mile Island, for instance, was (and still is, for the operating units) a PWR, and Rancho Seco (near Sacramento CA) had a serious incident with the same type of reactor. You don't need a BWR to have problems, especially in an older plant.

Rancho Seco was shut down permanently by popular demand (it's a Municipal Utility District, so the ratepayers also elect the Board...) after the Mess Back East; it's now decommissioned, with the old fuel in dry casks on-site and machinery removed (can't do much about those cooling towers, though). A solar array and natural gas-fired plant produce power at the site.

FWIW, of the 5 nukes that operated at one time or another in CA, only one is still running: Diablo Canyon. And it's about to go on life extension. The oldest one, an early experimental plant near Livermore, still has the dome in place but hasn't operated as a grid-feeding power reactor for many decades (visible from Hwy 84). Rancho Seco is gone as noted above, though the cooling towers might become something like the Pyramids eventually. Humboldt Bay shut down first among the actual power reactors - at the time of its first refueling in the 1960s - because geologic studies ordered at that time disclosed a major fault running very nearly under it; old fuel is stored in dry casks near the plant (which is still operating, gas-fired), at sea level, in a tsunami zone, on top of that fault, across from the Humboldt Bay entrance from the ocean (what could possibly go wrong?), but on the plus side it's been cooling off for a long time. San Onofre is the most recent shutdown - botched job (plenty of blame to go around) on replacement steam generators installed only a few years ago. So Greenie CA mostly runs on natural gas...

Note: of the CA reactors, 3 (San Onofre, Humboldt, and Rancho Seco) have rail access - spurs into the site. It might be interesting to see if Humboldt's could be accessed by anything heavier than a speeder by now. Vallecitos (near Livermore) and Diablo Canyon don't have rail access - trucks only, though Diablo can get big stuff by sea then take it up a very serious heavy-haul road to the site. There - mentioned rail.
