In 1978, an unprecedented 85 percent of the voters in Vorarlberg cast their votes against Zwentendorf, tipping the scales of the nationwide referendum. In the second half of the 1980s, Hildegard Breiner played a major role in opposition to the nuclear Wackersdorf reprocessing plant (WAA) to be built at Wackersdorf in neighbouring Bavaria, Germany.
