nothing will happen, both are chemically inert, part of the salt will dissolve in water in radiator fluid, but there will be no big KABOOM! there will be not even fizzle...
salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), where radiator fluid is mostly water (H2O) with added ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2), no chances for any reaction... glycol is slightly poisonous, do not use it as add on to your drinking water...
