Can you make a radioactive element from scratch? Scratch could be different things. Prof. Turner answered one aspect of the answer completely. If you are interested in making an element a radioactive element, that is a different story. You need big electrical instruments, something like van de Graff generator, cyclotron etc. to bombard an element with particles like protons, deuterons, alpha particles etc. to produce a radioactive element.
