I don't think gold can be made with fission. However, with Fusion, gold can be made over time, but it's one of the very, very, last things and usually only made during a supernova.

Gold is made in fission reactors. The lead lining of the reactor chamber turns into a thin layer of highly radioactive gold. It's collected regularly and held within extreme protective measures in Fort Knox.

WOW! I knew it was made via Fusion, but not fission, too. Yeah, THAT would be insanely radioactive for millennia!
