Global environmental conformity has been one of the most important issues discussed recently as being required for all human activities. From this point of view, this report investigates whether nuclear fusion can be a benign energy source for the global environment. First of all, we chose the following global environmental problems: (1)Global warming, (2)Acid rain, (3)Ozonosphere destruction, (4)Air pollution, (5)Environmental hormones, (6)Radiation & radioactive materials, (7)Electromagnetic waves, and(8)Heat drainage from an energy source. Secondly, these problems were fully surveyed in terms of their relationships with proposed nuclear fusion power plant. Finally, as a result of this discussion, it was confirmed that a fusion power plant would not produce any new problems, but would partilally contribute to solving some of the environmental problems.
