No. Why would anyone want higher electricity bills. And the uranium supply chain isn't that stable too.

If you want the UK to be totally independent for energy and also run data centers . You will need SMR's .
If you want to continue with a hybrid that relies on oil or LNG. You do solar and wind

So far only a few prototype SMRs exist. They are more expensive per MW than big powerplants so it would probably need a few thousand to make them economical viable. For that amount of money you could build humongous amounts of sodium ion batteries that would cover all production
