If you want to add a new column to the GridView you should add it to it's DataSource. Either by selecting another column from the database or, if you use an in-memory DataTable as here- by adding another DataColumn. But i assume that you already have added the column(Select).

Then use a TemplateField to add the RadioButton and eval/bind it to the column.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowDataBound="GridView2_RowDataBound" >
         <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
                  <ItemTemplate>
                     <asp:RadioButton ID="rbSelect"   runat="server" />
                  </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>

You can use RowDataBound to check it according to the datasource:

protected void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        var rbSelect = (RadioButton)e.Row.FindControl("rbSelect");
        var row = ((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem).Row;
        rbSelect.Checked = row.Field<bool>("Select");
    }
}
