If it's "degrees," it cannot be "kelvin." At the 10 million level, it doesn't of course matter whether it's in degrees Celsius or in kelvins. The difference (about 273) represents an insignificant portion of the total.

If the guy at Reuters forgot kelvin, then its fine, but if he deliberately skipped that word, then its a wrong thing on the part of the media. For a layman, it does not matter whether the power comes from wood fired or nuclear fired power plant, but for a person with interest in science, the word 'kelvin' matters.
