The basic premise - "the wormhole picked up some plutonium and then dropped it as it passed through the sun" - is fundamentally flawed.. first, if wormholes pick up random materials as they travel through space, then why don't those random materials emerge from the gate along with the travelers after any/every non-star-intersecting wormhole traverse? Second, if stars are "poisoned" by the introduction of heavy elements, then what mechanism does the Universe use to prevent the daily fluctuations of every star's output spectra which would result from random solid bodies (asteroids etc.. of widely variable composition) falling into stars by gravity? Third, if the wormhole dropped its "hitchhiking plutonium" as it traversed the star's core and its energy & gravity fields.. why didn't it also drop the travelers there? Fourth.. Earth's Sun is as massive as 333,000 Earths, and our Sun is basically a hydrogen bomb which has been detonating for about 4 billion years or so. The amount of plutonium which the wormhole would have had to "pick up" in order to measurably alter a star's spectrum, would have increased the power draw on the originating Stargate enough to melt every wire in Cheyenne mountain - when those cables melted, and de-energized the gate, the wormhole would have collapsed before the travelers, or the plutonium, could have reached the star.
