United Nations??? 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development establishes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nuclear and isotopic techniques contribute directly to achieving the SDGs related to energy, human health, food production, water management and environmental protection. This paper proposes a sustainability management system model for operating organisations of nuclear research reactors, supported by four sustainability pillars: institutional, economic, environmental and social. Each pillar of sustainability is formed by categories of indicators found in bibliographic references and validated by nuclear and sustainability academic experts, by using Delphi method. The management system model proposed has a high-level structure based on standards established by International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), considers safety requirements of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and corporate sustainability requirements found in bibliographic references. Stakeholders??? requirements and expectations are inputs of the management system. The focus of the management system is nuclear safety and the organisation's commitment to sustainable development. A method for validating the sustainability management system, a sustainable development matrix to assess the maturity of sustainability management over time, and a sustainable value model, which evaluates the path taken by the organisation towards sustainable development, are tools that support the management system proposed. The management system outputs are management decisions that comply with organisation's policy, objectives and processes; products that meet stakeholders' requirements and expectations; and a Sustainability Report that contains sustainability indicators addressed by institutional, economic, environmental and social dimensions.
