The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) consists of 12 NaI detectors and 2 BGO detectors mounted on two sides of the spacecraft. This provides detection capability for energies between 10 keV and 30 MeV, and sensitivity to all directions in the sky. Extensive measurements using radioactive sources have been performed on the isolated detectors. Simulations of these measurements using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations toolset have also been preformed. For gamma-ray burst the spacecraft itself will have a significant impact on the detector response, therefore the final stage of validations involves measuring the detector response to radioactive sources after the spacecraft is fully assembled, and validating the results using simulation. Details of these simulations will be given in this paper.
