Hello,
Silver will strongly absorb UV light which will accelerate altering
photochemical reactions. Some reactions include, for example, interactions
between silver and process materials left in the print, as well as, between
materials left in the print. I would speculate that the print response to a
UV exposure would depend upon the material used and the way it was processed.
Best bet, being an experimentalist, would be to take a test print or
unwanted print and see if there are perceptible change during an UV exposure
you plan to use for the original.
