dang radiator broke

Started pulling my radiator to change the water pump. Tried to remove the coolant temp sensor from the passanger side of the radiator. SNAP! Broke the whole assembly off, the sensor is sezed in the threads where it screws into the radiator. Can I have that piece of the radiator welded back on or am I looking at a new radiator?
 
It very likely can be repaired. Check for a good radiator shop in your area.
 
As Trevor said, take it to a radiator shop. They brazed mine back on for a couple bucks.
 
That nipple was soldered in originally.
If you have a torch and some solder, or know a plumber, it's a simple fix.
I have soldered a couple of mine in the past.
