Um, nuclear explosion? The only way you're going to get gold is through nuclear reactions.

Well, stars decay to iron usually. You'd want nuclear fission from uranium to get gold. Iron is the lowest nuclear energy state. Everything in a nuclear process goes towards it. You don't hear people talking about helium as a fissionable material.

"Wear rubber gloves and a gas mask when working with mercury to protect
yourself from Mercury poisoning.
1/4 OZ Silver Shavings 99.9% pure.
3 OZ Sulfur Powder Pharmaceutical grade.
10 OZ Cinnabar (also known as a mineral, Mercuric Sulfide, Hgs) - powder it,
or 1 OZ Mercury with no traces of Gold .
1 Quartz Geode.
4 12 Volt Car Batteries.
2 Lead Copper Electrodes.
Place all shavings and powder into Quartz Geode.
Connect Car Batteries to equal 48 Volts at 3 Amps per minute.
Place Leads into powder in Quartz Geode wait 25 minutes.
Produces 1.75 OZ of Gold.
Don't rush this, do this exactly as stated above, making larger amounts at one
time will produce radioactive gold (bad). You can repeat the procedure to make
as much gold as you need."

Why are people attempting to revive the dangerous and unscientific pracitce of alchemy? Lack of education I assume.
"ORMEs are transformed into their original T-metal by means of a chemical bonding with an electron-donating element, such as carbon, which is capable of d orbital electron overlap and "spin flip". When the G-ORME is chemically bonded to carbon in an aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol under a specific potential, carbon monoxide is formed and the ORME forms Au+(Au+, a black precipitate, which under continued application of potential and dehydration reduces to Au+1 (Au-1, a metallic bonded diatom of gold. **This invention establishes that a high potential applied to the solution forces an electron into the d orbital, thus eliminating the electron pair.** The first potential, which for G-ORME is approximately -2.2 V and for other ORMEs is between -1.8 and -2.2 V, re-establishes the d orbital overlap. The final potential of -2.5 V overcomes the water potential to deposit gold onto the cathode."

In terms of nuclear processes, iron is the bottom of the barrel. If you want to fuse of fission iron, it actually requires energy to do both. On either side (with respect to atomic weight), you'll gain energy from either fusing or fissioning atoms and have to spend it to do the other.
And you're right, decay was a bad word to use. They fuse into iron, which as stated above is the lowest energy thing for nuclear processes.
