The term transmutation dates back to alchemy. Alchemists pursued the philosopher's stone, capable of chrysopoeia – the transformation of base metals into gold.
The origins go as far back as 1634.
The prevailing theory at the time was that plants grew by eating soil, and van Helmont devised a clever investigation to test this idea.
The above clip gives a detailed synopsis of four centuries findings from the more interesting experiments in this Feild.
Kervran was a renowned French scientist. He received a degree as an engineer in 1925. In World War II he was part of the French Resistance.
Kervran proposed that nuclear transmutation occurs in living organisms, which he called "biological transmutation".[3] He made this claim after doing an experiment with chickens where they were generating calcium in their egg shells while there was no calcium in their food or soil. He had no known scientific explanation for it. Such transmutations are not possible according to mainstream physics, chemistry and biology. Proponents of biological transmutations fall outside mainstream physics and are not part of the scientific discourse even though nobody was able to find flaw with his results.

Transmutation
The SAFIRE Project started as a proof of concept designed to test the Electric Sun model, with resounding success. It picked up large amounts of funding since then after it was found to generate power USING nuclear waste and creating harmless byproduct. Even if it's efficiency doesn't improve, remediation of nuclear waste is itself a trillion dollar industry. There was another finding of interest.
In the plasma reactor the anode was analysed with EDAX after an energy producing run. The next two images highlight the elements that were not present at the beginning of the run.
Additional evidence for transmutation comes from optical spectroscopy. For reference, below is the spectrum from a discharge not encouraging transmutation - showing primarily the Hydrogen atmosphere.
The next figure shows the spectrum of the discharge around the anode during the energy-producing run, with three areas highlighted. Spectroscopy under complex conditions is as much an art as a science, since any one line can be assigned to more than one element and energy level. One of the unique signatures of the metal Manganese is the three triplets circled below. It is possible that instead of Manganese, we are seeing multiple other elements in just the right energy levels, but that is statistically extremely less likely than the presence of Manganese. The alloy used for the anode contained no Manganese. It is also notable that the relative intensities of the nine Manganese lines indicate up to 25eV energy states, considerably higher than the energy levels in the Hydrogen atmosphere.
The table below shows the elements identified that were not in the chamber before the experiment.

Marc LeClair, of Nanospire, Inc, built a cavitation device in his garage for a mere $250.00 that generated nuclear radiation and reportedly even formed a type of diamond (using only water). He and his partner were severely radiation poisoned for more than a year, lost their hair and almost died.
