Line driven wind in late B stars causes significant heating of layers just above the photosphere. This large heating is a source of a thermal wind, which together with fast rotation opens the possibility of a formation of a disk. We refer to such disk as to a radiation induced disk. Disk inhibition by nonradial line force has only little effect in this case, since absorption in spectral lines is not the main wind driving mechanism.
