Not much. Helium is an inert gas. It does not want to react with anything. Plutonium is highly radioactive, and some of its isotopes are fissile. In any case, the two would not react. Nothing nuclear is going to happen beased on the mixing of the two elements. The only possible problem is if a critical mass of plutonium is gathered together. Then a criticality incident will occur and a radioactive mess will result with the release of a cloud of airborne and highly radioactive nuclides.
