gollark: If you get the density in, say, kg/m³, then the mass is in kg and volume is in m³.
gollark: I think common density units are stuff like kilograms per m³, or grams per cm³.
gollark: Probably not. I don't know a massive amount about this, but the nuclear waste which does not get reused or something is kept out of the way of humans because it is dangerous.
