PCT No. PCT/EP93/00671 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 29, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 29, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 19, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/19474 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 30, 1993Substantially spherical particles of lithium silicates with improved mechanical properties and improved surface quality are provided, which are particularly suited for use as breeding material for tritium. The particles are characterized in that they contain additions of tellurium and/or tellurium compounds.
