This decay occurs naturally without assistance Always has two or more nuclear reactants. ... This decay must be forced to occur and will not happen naturally.
Natural transmutation is radioactive decay and fusion nuclear reactions that occur in the cores of stars.

Unstable atoms undergo a process that changes protons into neutrons or neutrons into protons.
