Axil, I do not believe that there is a physical law that prevents the formation of elements heavier than iron outside of a super nova. If you accept that some reactions are endothermic then that can be a direct consequence.
In particle accelerators heavy elements are commonly constructed from smaller parts. Of course energy is converted into mass when it occurs, but that does not mean that it can not happen.

Ifany transuranic elements are detected in transmutation, there is noknown nuclear reaction outside of a supernova explosion that canproduce such elements. That is to say, NO REACTION, whether by hot orcold fusion can produce these super heavy elements from lightelements. WhenEd Storms analyzed the transmutation byproducts from LeClairscavitation experiments, Ed himself listed in his ash analysis ofLeClair's experiments, super heavy elements. LeClair initialized hisreaction with just aluminum and water. Edstated that LeClair's results were not the result of cold fusion. Butby any reaction outside of a supernova, transuranic elements cannotbe formed under any circumstances. According to current theory,normal stellar fusion ash production stops with iron and can go nohigher in terms of atomic weight. A valid cold fusion theory mustexplain the formation by transmutation of super heavy elements.
