Thanks to long-standing agreements with the US, British submarine reactors are largely copycats of the American ones. And everything about them is super-classified, hard to see how they could use any of that knowledge for civilian reactors.
At most one could argue that if this civilian reactor project succeeds beyond the wildest dreams, they could use that knowledge to design indigenous submarine reactors rather than relying on the Americans. If so, one hopes they could, as the French have already done, switch to low enriched fuel and reduce proliferation risk.
