These beads contain all the fission byproducts inside a shell of high-temperature ceramic. Their sub-millimeter size and spherical shape give them very high mechanical strength (imagine trying to squish a grain of sand) so that they may safely contain all but traces (constantly filtered from the coolant) of fission byproducts.
