We tested the origin of the nebular radiation in the symbiotic star AG Dra, during different levels of its activity. We modeled the broad wings of the OVI 1032, 1038 Å resonance lines and HeII 1640 Å line by the Thomson scattering process, and determined the electron-scattering optical depth, τe, of the symbiotic nebula. The increase of τe during active phases results from an increase in the accretion rate onto the white dwarf.
