Those are boiling water reactors (BWR) of generations 3 and 4. Generation 3 appears to use U-235 (source) as its fuel, so it will have enriched material and would pose the most danger. Generations 3 and 4, however, were designed with much better containment vessels than previous BWRs, and especially better than the Chernobyl design.
From what I have read, those cores can be kept safe only with electricity to keep water pumps circulating cool water and to remove any hydrogen that builds up from the normal electrolysis behavior of reactors. I am sure that the non-trivial US Navy presence in Japan can solve this (if Japan can’t already, on its own).
TL;DR: Amurika will be awwrite.

This is why I fucking hate modern civilization. I always say I want to live naturally and be left alone, and that I want to burn down industrial society and burn all of the farms to force everyone to hunt, and then fags go saying "Hurr, that's not very noice! You can live your ascetic lifestyle just fine without having to infringe upon everyone who wants to live industrially!" ...Well no I fucking can't, because you can't live remotely enough to escape ecosystem destruction or hemispheric nuclear fallout.
Fuck them. I can't wait until this overpopulation/industrial nonsense implodes.

no one but cows and buzzards and jackalopes live in Wyoming, Nevada, Montana, so whatever happens there doesn't really matter much.
